8 oz cream cheese, softened at room temperature

½ cup fresh or canned crab meat, drained

½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

¼ cup green onions, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

1 tsp soy sauce

½ tsp sesame oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

12 wonton wrappers

Oil for frying or baking

Instructions
 

Prepare the Dip Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with the crab meat, shredded mozzarella, chopped green onions, and minced garlic. Add the Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Use a spatula or fork to mix everything together until the mixture is smooth and well combined, achieving a creamy consistency.

    Preheat Oven/Frying Oil: If you plan to bake the wonton chips, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). For frying, heat a generous amount of oil in a deep pan over medium heat until it’s hot and ready for frying.

      Prepare Wonton Chips: To create chips, cut the wonton wrappers into triangles, yielding about four triangles from each wrapper. For baking, arrange them in a single layer on a lined baking sheet, then lightly brush each triangle with oil and sprinkle with salt. For frying, cut the wrappers as described and set them aside without oiling.

        Cook Wonton Chips:

          - For Baking: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the wonton chips are golden brown and crispy. Be sure to flip them halfway through the baking time for even crispiness.

            - For Frying: Carefully add the wonton triangles to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until they turn golden brown, flipping occasionally for even cooking. Once done, remove them from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain any excess oil.

              Serve the Dip: Transfer the creamy crab dip mixture into a suitable baking dish. Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the dip is heated through and slightly bubbling on top.

                Presentation: For an inviting display, serve the warm crab dip directly in the baking dish, surrounded by the crispy wonton chips for easy dipping. For an added flair, drizzle some sweet chili sauce over the dip or serve it alongside in a small bowl.
